AE ... the devil at work!

[Robert Stevenson]

I have a number of true/false question objects (which came right out of the box) in a randomized quiz. Regardless of the choice the student makes the following AE code rewards them with a mark. This only happens on this question. If someone could sort out where the evil is below I'd be much obliged.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actions for Group "(unnamed)" of Page "New Page50"

-- On question answered... -----------------------------------------------------
Define local variable "currentquestionscore" (Initial value: 0)

Score Self
If currentquestionscore > 0
Set student_score to student_score + 1
Set text of Field "scorebox" of This Background to student_score
Else if currentquestionscore <= 0
Set student_score to student_score - 1
Set text of Field "scorebox" of This Background to student_score
End if

-- On load page... -------------------------------------------------------------
Set text of Self to student_score

on question answered has the parameter called score.
The value of score is either "incorrect" or "correct" and never resolves to a numeric value.

How are you getting a numeric value in your code? How does your code ever set the variable currentquestionscore, especially if this variable is a local variable.

Code should be something like:

If score = "correct" then

Set student_score to student_score + 1
else

Set student_score to student_score - 1
end if

I assume the variable student_score is global, which is what it should be.

Thank you for taking care of the devil! Problem solved. The bizarre thing is that the posted code with currentquestionscore worked for all but this one true/false question. How I'm afraid I have no idea.
